The True Post (Web News)Canadian singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette is preparing to add a new chapter to her celebrated music career with the release of her first full-length Christmas album on November 6.

A New Addition to Canada’s Christmas Music Tradition
Christmas music has long held an important place in Canada’s music industry, with several Canadian artists establishing successful careers through holiday recordings.
Michael Bublé, Diana Krall, Sarah McLachlan and Bryan Adams are among the Canadian musicians who have contributed to the seasonal music catalogue.
Michael Bublé’s Christmas album, in particular, has enjoyed lasting commercial success and continued popularity on music charts over the years.

With its November 6 release, Good Weather for Immaculate Conception marks a new musical milestone for Morissette and adds to the growing collection of holiday releases from Canadian artists.
